My grandfather's brother won this car in a lottery in 1957. He had no driver's license, but his brothers used to give him a lift in it.
From 1975 to 1996, the car was parked in my grandfather's brother's garage.
My grandfather moved the car on a trailer in 1996 to his garage a few miles away. It has been standing still there until this year when I rolled it out and started it. This was the first time someone started it up in 38 years!

What a super car ! I remember those Opels very well and would loooove to have one, but unfortunately I can't afford it ! Shame. Good luck with it !

The engines in these remind me so much of the Holden Grey 6 cylinder. There are definitely differences, but they even sound alike

Instead of grinding away at the starter, WHY the hell didn't you go through the ignition system and clean it up, replace the plugs, and take the carb apart and clean it before even attempting to start it???

You should use that aero start when the engine is turning over

opels are cool cars, just never caught on over here in the US. if you are going to keep it a 4cylinder, may I suggest either a hopped up Opel 2.0L (from the Kadett) or a hopped up Chevy 2.5L "Iron Duke"? either would be way cool in that car.

Dude you dont really know theese cars do you ? changing the engine isnt a thing 2 do with these old Opels. Btw its not a 4 cylinder.... its a 2,5 Liter Straght Six.
@ExiledPiasa
@ExiledPiasa 7 лет назад
No I don't. We in the US don't see too many of these cars.

Its a 2,5 Liter Straight Six ? a big motor for an opel. Later Kapitans in the late 60s and early 70s had a Chevy v8 as an option

@TheCraen
@TheCraen 10 лет назад

@CLDK2
@CLDK2 10 лет назад
6 banger in a row it is, though. Sounds better than a V-engine
